20 NEW GENERA OF S. AFRICAN PLANTS. 
collectors, I am indebted to my valued correspondent, the 
Rev. J. Brownlee; who gathered it, ‘near the Berlin Mis- 
sionary Institution on the Kat Berg. It grows at the east 
point of the mountain, in the highest part of the forest, 
partly shaded by the large timber.” In this situation, it is 
occasionally covered with snow in the winter season. Asa 
genus, it is nearly related in character to Forgesia, Commers., 
noris the habit very dissimilar. The styles can never be 
said to be fully united together, though the stigmas, which 
are remarkably large, are at first connate. The anthers are 
unusually small, nor am I quite sure that they are perfect. 
The generic name is in allusion to the separable styles. Un- 
less Montinia be referable, as I am inclined to think, to 
Escalloniacee, this is the only South African genus of that 
Order.

3. MirRAsTIGMA. Calycis tubus globosus, ovario adnatus; | 
limbus 4-5-dentatus, erectus, brevissimus. Corolle tubus | 
infundibuliformis, fauce hirsuta; limbus 4-5-fidus, lobis 
revolutis, estivatione valvatis. Stamina 4-5, corolle fauce 
inserta, breviter exserta, recurvo-patentia; anthere oblongss 
versatiles. Stylus filiformis, exsertus; stigma oblongum, 
bifidum, basi truncatum (mitreforme). Ovarium disco cat- 
noso coronatum, biloculare: ovula in loculis solitaria. Bacca 
subcompressa, calycis limbo minuto coronata, dipyrena. - 
Frutex Natalensis, glaber; folüs oppositis, ellipticis, obtusis, 
nitentibus, integerrimis; stipulis lat& subulatis ; cymis axil- 
laribus, subcorymbosis. : 
M. lucidum, nob. (Psychotria obtusifolia, E. Mey.! in 
Herb. Drege; also Psychotria 2361 of same collection ; and 
Krauss No. 178). This shrub seems to be common about ` 
Port Natal. It varies slightly in its foliage, and in the length 
of the tube of the corolla as compared with the limb; but ` 
after a careful examination of numerous specimens, collected ` 
by different persons, I cannot recognise more than one spe- -
